PTI, May 22, 2026, Kathmandu : Two Indian mountaineers who summited Mount Everest have died while descending, an official said on Friday.
The climbers have been identified as Arun Tiwari and Sandeep Are. It appears that Are summited on Wednesday and Tiwari on Thursday around 5.30 pm, said Rishi Bhandari.
The guides "worked really hard" but were not able to save them, he told PTI.
Are died on Thursday, and it is not clear when Tiwari passed away.
On Wednesday, three Indians, including Are, were part of the 274 climbers who summited the 8,848.86-metre peak. It was a new record for the highest number of ascents ever recorded in a day. The other two were Tulasi Reddi Palpunoori and Ajay Pal Singh Dhaliwal.
The following day, on Thursday, India's Lakshmikanta Mandal also reached the world's highest peak.
